As from today there is also a NMW for apprentices (under 19, or over 19 in first year of apprenticeship of GBP 2.50 ph Sorry Peter, I wasn't being precise enough - meant *full adult* NMW. The 'full adult' NMW only applies to those 21 and over - as of today it's £5.93, and also as of today it applies to 21 years olds - it used to apply to those aged 22 plus. BBC News story on today's changes: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-11446282 Also, see this NMW on Directgov: http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/employme...ay/dg_10027201 ---quote--- Current NMW rates There are different levels of NMW, depending on your age and whether you are an apprentice. The current rates a £5.93 - the main rate for workers aged 21 and over £4.92 - the 18-20 rate £3.64 - the 16-17 rate for workers above school leaving age but under 18 £2.50 - the apprentice rate, for apprentices under 19 or 19 or over and in the first year of their apprenticeship The age at which you become entitled to the main rate was reduced from 22 to 21 on 1 October 2010. The apprentice rate was introduced on the same date. If you are of compulsory school age you are not entitled to the NMW. Some of your other employment rights are also different. ---/quote--- The HMRC webpage on the NMW has not yet been updated to reflect today's changes: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/nmw/ |
